Sad how accurate this is. Houses in our neighborhood who put out signs for Biden or Beto in the past and now have signs for city council members are heavily influencing me to not vote for their candidate.

College Station's utilities, streets and garbage are still non-partisan and proud of it. We have a city-manager form of government. The decisions brought to council don't tend to have a party lean to them, so that even if you had partisan philosophies it wouldn't matter much.
I've worked with a number of Council candidates to put out signs and they are just as likely to end up parked next to a Democratic as a Republican sign. If you see one with a Harris, look around a little and you'll see the same candidate with a Trump.
Our municipal pollical fault line is more likely to be neighborhoods vs developers than democrats vs republicans. Even that difference has narrow significantly in the last two years with both CSAN and the Realtors Association endorsing the same candidates (Yancy and Mcllhaney).
In my opinion, the contrast between the candidates this year is more in there level of experience and competency to make good decisions, and there's a fair gap in some races.

I have seen ZERO political yard signs for the 2024 general election in my neighborhood (at any level; local, state, or national). I'm wondering if residents are afraid of violence if their sign doesn't align with the political views of those passing by? I know I am worried about this.
I've seen 4 Harris signs and zero Trump ones
I don't put out signs because they don't accomplish anything. If people are going to choose who they vote for based on seeing a sign, I'm sure I don't want them to vote.
Plus, a study some years back showed that signs and bumper stickers don't provide a good return on the time and money required to put them out.
I saw WAY more Beto signs than I ever did Cruz signs. How did that work out, other than the Beto supporters getting a month to virtue signal to other Beto supporters

Depends.
Is he searchable on Brazos Justice Web or BustedNewspaper? The candidate is.

Kinda the same way the Trump flags worked out :P Signs/Flags mean diddly squat other than to signal.
Feel like in prior years there was more coverage on our local candidates. Maybe it's still forthcoming? Feels awfully close.
